Permanent healing: no reruns

GRAYCE G. YOUNG

Usually during the summer months, television offers us a schedule of program reruns. If a program wasn't instructive or entertaining the first time around, we may quickly change the channel or turn the TV set off.

Sometimes mortal mind, the mythologic mimic of God, divine Mind, would do something similar by offering us a rerun of a sickness we were healed of in the past. Perhaps through the study and application of Christian Science we have been healed of a painful physical condition, or a discordant relationship has been restored to harmony. But what if one day we are faced with a suggested replay, and the disease seems to have returned or the harmonious relationship to have been disrupted again?

At times like these do we immediately challenge the lies of material sense with the facts of Truth? Or does fear claim to paralyze our efforts to turn off mortal mind's dialogue? When error seems insistent, we can be more insistent and firmly assert what we know to be true, turning away from the sights (mental images) and sounds (aggressive suggestions) that error would have us accept as real.
